their turn came at last. In 1892 the order
came that this wretched people leave the
country within four months. Their real
state was forfeited, gold and silver they

AXE with them, but were offered drafts
instead. Their other personal property
they could sell, but the people abstained
rom buying until the last moment, when
it was sold at a sacrifice. Numerous
)utrages were committed on the Jews as
hey were leaving.
Many still lurked in Spain under the
guise of new Christians, and some Of
them received the highest offices of
church and state and even of the Inqui-
Sition, while for generations, according
to kayserling, they remained Jews at
heart.
1t is noteworthy that just about this
time comes the note from Premier Sa-
gasta that Spain will again receive the

THE ECLIPSE IN JAPAN,

Preparations Made to Observe it by the
United States Government.
The total eclipse of the sun, which will take
place on the 18th of August, is one of
great interest to astronomers in all parts of
the world. 1t will be seen mostly on land
but, unfortunately for the United States
Naval Observatory its appearance will be in
Europe and Asia. 1t will last about four
minutes, and great preparations have been
made by the European astronomers to
observe it at its totality, which will be in
Japan.
The only expedition from the United
States to Japan will be under the joint aus
pices of the Navy Department, which loans
the instruments, and the trustees of the
Bache fund of the National Academy of
Science, who appropriated $1,000 for the
expenses of the expedition. Professor David
2. Todd, of Amherst is in charge of the ex-
petition.
The primary objects of the expedition are
to secure photographs of the partially eclipsed
sun especially near the moments of its criti-
cal phase, and of the solar corona. while the
sun is entirely covered. The photographs
of the corona will be taken with the instru-
ments loaned and on the plan prescribed bv
the director of Howard College Observatory.
Professor Todd is also instructed to seek to
obtain such photographs with the horizontal
photo Telegraph In addition Professor
Todd is to secure drawings of the corona by
native japanese artists, such other physical
observations, and such other observations of
times and phases. especially the beginning
and end of totality at various points.
On arriving at Yokohama the professoristo
communicate with Mr.. Hubbard, the United
States minister to Japan, and through him it
is expected that the japanese authorities will
render his party such aid and assistance as
may be necessary to the success of the expe-
dition. His report Photographic plates and
other results of the work will be addressed to
the superintendent of the Nautical Almanac
office in Washington.

"Your fortune lady," quick she said,

With earnest glance, and eye intent.
Above my youthful palm she bent.

''Thy days revealed, stand written here,
The life lines showing bold and clear.
"'Neath other suns, in fairer lands,
Shall bloom and blossom in thy hands
''Swcet flowers of life; and jewels fair
Shall deck thy form in beauty rare.
''The glow of courts thy presence feel
And at thy feet, shall princes kncel.

Mid all the blaze of rank and wealth.

And Love bend waiting at thy feet.

And children standing by thy side.
But now the lines are dim and crossed,
And deep in gloom the tracks are lost.

And burst on thee in sullen power.
Il see thee fly from dangers quest
With loved ones clinging to thy breast.
"Now all is vagile,--time intcrvenes--

And calm content is thine once more.

No power, no wealth has e'er been mine,
No costly jewels glow and shine,
Upon my wrinkled brow.

And bent the form so firm and straight.
And fortune harsh with cruel fate
Has left me here alone.
